"Trumpet" wins 3rd place & Publication

I'm proud to announce that my short-short story, "Trumpet," won 3rd place in the Sudden Fiction Contest hosted by the Berkeley Fiction Review.

My story appears in issue 31; however, their website says "pre-order" and the editors informed me recently that issues of #31 won't be available until September unfortunately.

I also got the chance to read this story at the Porter Gulch Review reading in May, 2009. Here's a video of that reading.
